After These Messages Podcast

Risk-taking, permanence, regret, pain -- the ancient art of tattooing has it all when it comes to the metaphors marketers love to employ. It's the one where Andrew tries to name all the Friends.

As long as they keep making pop songs, advertisers will keep writing parodies of them to sell laundry detergent, margarine and cheese bits. Andrew and Vieves look at some recent entries. Plus, an Ad Councillor tantalizes Andrew with a possible submission for the possible ghost files.

Andrew and Vieves consider ads that mine the universal frustration of customer service calls for fun and profit.

Andrew and Vieves consider commercials that rely on typos - and the ensuing hilarity - to sell everything from diet soda to dating apps. Plus, the Ad Council does NOT come through.

A vintage videotape yields a bumper crop of L.A.based commercials, PSAs and promos that have Andrew and Vieves feeling nostalgic for the City of Angels. Plus, a Chicago Bulls great is either shilling for sandwiches or auditioning for the adult film industry. Jury's still out.

A slew of ads set at weddings has Vieves and Andrew considering the many, many tropes used to sell everything from candy to car insurance.

Beloved actor and least annoying denizen of the Marvel Universe Paul Rudd reprises a commercial classic, prompting a Vieves Takeover, only to be interrupted by Andrew bearing new fast food tidings.

Andrew quizzes Vieves on the various attempts by fast food chains to encroach on the market share of their competitors with menu innovations ranging from merely unappetizing to actively revolting. Plus, last week's show sends the Ad Councilors on a walk down memory lane. Here are links to the ads we talked about in this week's show: (WARNING: Links could spoil the quiz if you're playing along) Pizza Hut P'Zollo https://www.ispot.tv/ad/7VOZ/pizza-hut-so-long-footlong Subway Enchilada Melt with Fritos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwqtZm_st8U Whopperritto https://www.ispot.tv/ad/Ajnu/burger-king-whopperrito-you-say-we-say Burger King Yumbo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_ZI9YGbQ-8 Subway Flatizza https://www.ispot.tv/ad/7BWc/subway-flatizza-bio-duplicator McDonald's Donut Sticks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZup9ayHXaQ KFC Chizza https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvG7ddpiEEU 1980s Commercials Vol. 53 (1982-1987 - Bonus All-Ernest Edition!!) https://youtu.be/LqdV84Oq65M?si=0Z6LianBSfsQjwkC There goes a firetruck https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvooX6JkbhY

Andrew's passion for archival VHS content takes center stage as he and Vieves unearth rare 90s commercial gems including a Jim Varney performance that somehow isn't Ernest P. Worrell and a deeply unpleasant Sega ad that will haunt their dreams. And as always, Jerry Maguire gets a shout out. Here are links to the ads we talked about on this week's show: Cerritos Auto Square Commercial (ft.

Guest producer Bobby sends Vieves and Andrew on a journey through time for products ranging from financial planning to food delivery. Plus, a cool thing happened to Utah once.

Vieves finds herself being driven slowly mad by a handful of terrible ads in heavy rotation, which means it's time for another round of Adcollades and Admonishments. Plus, a hotel-booking site ad launches a conversation about what constitutes a “normal” amount of luxury. Here are links to the ads we talked about in this week's show: Modern Nose Clinic - SERIOUS head pressure https://youtu.be/AXHthfPDbC8?si=NgYSaO6AcjNBb7cf State Farm - Batman vs Bateman https://www.ispot.tv/ad/TBZZ/state-farm-batman-v-bateman-featuring-jason-bateman-jordan-howlett Liberty Mutual - Total baby https://www.ispot.tv/ad/Td3f/liberty-mutual-biberty-baby Progressive - Firepit https://www.ispot.tv/ad/fvmK/progressive-dr-rick-firepit Progressive - Gas Pump https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZD1w1vAxH0 T-Mobile - Blown Away https://www.ispot.tv/ad/TBwu/t-mobile-blown-away-save-20-featuring-ben-barnes Nespresso - The Detective https://www.ispot.tv/ad/TLgb/nespresso-the-detective-featuring-george-clooney-eva-longoria-camille-cottin-and-kim-go Nespresso - The Bet https://www.ispot.tv/ad/5B52/nespresso-the-bet-featuring-george-clooney Hotels.com - Movie production https://www.ispot.tv/ad/6vSA/hotels-com-introductions-queen-featuring-kaitlyn-dever-dominic-sessa

Andrew is back at it with the digitizing of old VHS tapes, which inspires a show about commercials that create fake award shows to sell diapers, soda, phone plans and a surprising amount of cereal. Plus, it's a banner day for Andrew in the getting-things-right department. Sort of. Here are links to the ads we talked about on this week's show: Huggies Diaper Awards https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jmm3PrdHlpk AT&T Awards Show https://www.ispot.tv/ad/Zybm/at-and-t-wireless-ok-awards-show McDonald's McDLT - Awards Night (1985) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VR2qwrUZYfg McDonald's - Awards Show Speeches (2016) https://www.ispot.tv/ad/AbsL/mcdonalds-award-shows McDonald's - Acceptance Speech https://www.ispot.tv/ad/ditw/mcdonalds-6-classic-meal-deal-acceptance-speech T-Mobile Internet - And The Winner Is… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDdjxzyDgAY Multi-Grain Cheerios - Acceptance Speech https://www.ispot.tv/ad/7Vcz/multi-grain-cheerios-acceptance-speech 7-Up - The Awards Show https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPnuM9hcu_0 7-Up - George Brett https://youtu.be/ATYTghnOBPo?si=yZPj54ou48mBde3R Kohl's - Dad's Acceptance Speech https://www.ispot.tv/ad/AblZ/kohls-dads-oscars-acceptance-speech Trix - Next Trix Kid Contest https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgqM6ZJoZ9k Autodesk - Otto Desc Acceptance Speech https://www.ispot.tv/ad/1ok8/autodesk-acceptance-speech-featuring-elizabeth-banks

An unusually grim joke in a car ad inspires Vieves and Andrew to look at commercials for everything from chocolate bars to travel sites with a decidedly macabre bent. Plus, Andrew's face blindness strikes again, and an Ad Councilor sends out an SOS to prove he's not crazy. Here are links to the ads we talked about in this week's show: Fiat 500L - Road Trip https://youtu.be/NeepHgYQb6w?si=Z_d1wMSC476Y6Lm8 Mini Countryman - Feel secure https://youtu.be/JUeMIbN-XU4?si=IrBH3kg6muamqKAQ Mercedes - Sorry https://youtu.be/j_Q5s_LqxJ8?si=GNNr_4xH-ztPQm4N Kit Kat - Zombie https://youtu.be/Sg88DzrNgPc?si=yl55Q-7SGybtr2uN Halos - Brakes https://youtu.be/TZ2MqeR7N7U?si=29_kIbRyGlZiLzN3 Halos - IRS https://youtu.be/4O1GH7_yBik?si=vVNjyBnuDsX-MPTO Kayak - DIY https://youtu.be/KBj0R_SoOYg?si=wXsS-xddDHd61Wb6 Liquid Death - The Deep https://youtu.be/2iGcta6R_Nk?si=KL6__3V5LJIvBMYk Liquid Death - Beautiful Youth https://youtu.be/CYazjdqiFfg?si=5Se77FjlOl_ZaKAM Panasonic Lumix - Climber https://youtu.be/10k5HQOYwwA?si=5_P3z54MmBMYxp2- German Star Trek Commercial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuliaQ3A7ac

Andrew and Vieves take a break from fast-talking pitchmen and slow things down with ads that deploy slow-motion to make the sale. Plus, the Ad Council is really on fire this week with an inside peak at motorcycle marketing and parody ads galore. Here are links to the ads we talked about in this week's show: Carlton Draught - Slow Motion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNz2Qzpo5AA Thatchers Cider - Time Stops https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1Wse2lJSRU Hebrew National - Slow Motion https://www.ispot.tv/ad/7Z_X/hebrew-national-slow-motion Mariners - Robinson Cano Slow Mo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrvrc0Sw9ww iPhone 11 - Slowfies https://www.ispot.tv/ad/ZDDa/apple-iphone-11-slofie-to-the-beat Diet Coke - Slow Motion Bobsled (1994) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRYJ6v8xqPc Amazon Fire HD - Slow Motion Madness https://www.ispot.tv/ad/7eFq/amazon-fire-hd-slow-motion-madness-featuring-reggie-miller Topps - David Ortiz Slow Motion https://www.ispot.tv/ad/d8BM/topps-cards-slow-motion-featuring-david-ortiz DeMayo Law - Slow Motion Accident https://www.ispot.tv/ad/tea5/law-offices-of-michael-a-demayo-slow-motion-accident Perrier Sparkling Water - What If? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4M9xEDW5qLA Energizer - Everything Happened Just Right https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxeVAZPVnok Milk - Let's go out to the kitchen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlEKooVE1YI&t=1s Let's All Go To The Lobby https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TH2j1YnIne0

Andrew and Vieves look at ads that dare to ask what actually is the meaning of life, and how much insurance, religion, wealth management and toilet paper does it take to fill the void? Plus, one local lawyer has a big reaction to… something? And a vintage doll commercial rolls all the bad ideas into one.

A crafty Ad Councillor puts Genevieve and Andrew to the test with a quiz about commercials and the YouTubers who comment on them. Plus, a sharp-eyed (sharp-eared?) listener notices a pattern in State Farm commercials. And Andrew is newly awed by a cruel commercial that he grew up with.

Andrew and Vieves look at commercials putting the grand epistolary tradition to work selling everything from sneakers to skin care.

A round up of ads for travel sites, AI-powered software, insurance and pet food has Andrew and Vieves mostly gnashing their teeth, excepting a few bright spots that include a surprising turn by former NFL punchline Tim Tebow.

From grown men in diapers to giant babies adorably terrorizing their towns, there's not a normal-sized baby in sight this week as Andrew and Vieves discuss how towering tots are selling everything from hair dye to healthcare.

A night of retro TV ads has Andrew and Vieves wondering why certain product categories seem to have disappeared from modern commercials, even though they're still sold in stores and online.

With the fall season looming, back to school ads are in full swing, so Vieves and Andrew consider ads old and new for backpacks, Trapper Keepers and all the accoutrements for kids (and the old actors who play them.) Plus, an Ad Councilor offers a eye-popping revelation, and Andrew's VHS project finally bears fruit.

A latent fascination with the golden age of piracy combined with a veritable treasure trove of pirate-themed commercials leads Vieves to don her eyepatch and pegleg for a show about the buccaneers of yore.

After Andrew gets gaslit by the internet, he and Vieves pivot to looking at the weightiest commercials for insurance, mortgages and “spistachios.” Plus, is ice the investment opportunity that you've been looking for?

Andrew and Vieves put the ice in nice when they look at ads featuring everything from cubes to Cubes, and Vanillla to chocolate.

While trying to determine if the truth is, in fact, out there, Andrew and Vieves are exposed to ads for everything ranging from food delivery apps to dating apps, but no matter what, they WON'T be talking about ads featuring Tom Brady. Plus, an Ad Councilor blows the whistle on a top-notch performance.

Andrew and Vieves look at ads set in the Prohibition Era, when the jazz was hot, the booze was illegal, and a soda company could use the long arm of the law to crush the competition. Plus, the Alabama Hammer isn't so hammery (or Alabama-y), and Verizon once again gets roasted.
